Valve Dismisses CS:GO Players' Efforts to Join Counter-Strike 2 Test
TL;DR
CS:GO players who idled in an effort to boost their playtime and increase their chances of getting into the Counter Strike 2 beta have been informed by Valve that nothing they're doing on Valve's servers counts toward their eligibility for the beta. The playtime that counts was the playtime prior to the start of the Limited Test. Counter Strike 2 is due out this Summer, and there's a more open beta soon to be revealed.
